How to get free traffic to my online shop of souvenirs and gifts without spam?
Seven is a magic number. Why? Because there are seven simple strategies every small business can employ to jump on the social marketing bandwagon. The best part: most require only a moderate investment of time and/or money.
1.Start Blogging – Blogging is old news to many. Not quite the distant past, but still not the future…sort of a Web 1.5. Is blogging what’s ‘hot’ at the moment? Well, no. It certainly doesn’t compare with chasing a link from the front page of Digg. But blogging is alive and well! It continues to be a great way to get interactively connected with your customers. ‘Dialoguing’ is the reason social marketing exists. How much time you invest in your blog is up to you, but you’ll get out what you put in. You don’t have to drive yourself crazy putting in daily entries, but you should establish a regular schedule for your blog updates. Otherwise, when people check your blog they’ll see the same-old/same-old so often that they’ll stop visiting your site…which is the whole reason you started the blog! So don’t shoot yourself in the foot by creating a blog that’s a visitor-repellent rather than a visitor-magnet.
Blogging is not a monologue. Your blog is not the electronic equivalent of Hamlet’s soliloquy. Just the opposite! Blogging is about creating conversations and joining others in progress. Take time to read what others in your industry are saying. Get in on the discussion (and get your name out there) by posting your comments on other blogs. It’s free, and again, the amount of time you invest can bring some very big returns. The beauty of blog posts is that you’ll almost always be encouraged to supply your name and URL when leaving a comment. This is a great way to build visibility and create a springboard to catapult traffic from other blogs to yours.
2. Take and Share Digital Photos – Flickr can be a tremendous marketing tool thanks to its incredibly active photo groups. The time and cost investment are minimal, and you can use Flickr to reach thousands of highly targeted prospects with compelling images of your product.
3. Be The Answer Man (or Woman) at Yahoo Answers – There’s one thing you have to offer that no one else does – your expertise. If you’re a service-based business, your knowledge is your #1 marketing tool. Yahoo Answers is a great place for you to hammer away at prospects. Imagine being the go-to person that people seek out. That’s who you’ll be at Yahoo Answers.
There’s no better way to share your expertise and make an instant and direct connection with potential customers. I know dozens of marketing pros like me who spent as little as an hour or two each week answering SEO and promotion-oriented questions there. They tell me that they’ve been able to track big results from even that small investment of time.
4. Get Into the Movie Business – Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but moving pictures are worth their weight in solid gold marketing. Fortunately, good video cameras are cheap these days, and a short video needs little editing/production work in today’s “everyone’s a filmmaker” environment. And if you’ve got the creative “chops” to add some sizzle to a video, go for it! Be the next Scorsese, if you can. Fortunately, the software you need to add special effects won’t break the bank. The most “viral” videos are usually spontaneous and unproduced…merely “captured” by a videographer. For marketing purposes, however, a produced video is the way to go… and a how-to video featuring your product is a good choice. If the look or location of your business is a selling point, “tour” videos –of a workplace, a restaurant, the homes you sell, the real estate you landscape, etc. – are your best bet.
Marketing videos are finding a home on local search portals like CitySearch. The find-it-in-your-town site announced that local video ads will be added to its listings. YellowPages.com is also exploring the idea of video opportunities.
Upload your videos to a unique page on your own website or add them to your blog page. But don’t stop there! YouTube is the most obvious ─ and the most active ─ sharing destination. And there are so many others. Just nose around the web and you’ll find ‘em.
5. Don’t Wait To Visit StumbleUpon.com – There are many so-called ‘discovery’ type sites in social marketing. The best-known are Digg, Reddit, and Netscape, but they’re also a bit complicated. StumbleUpon requires the lowest time investment. The site’s functionality makes it much quicker and easier to join groups related to your industry and add friends from those groups.
Once you’ve joined and created your lists, you can start to upload “sticky” (appealing to visitors) content and before you know it, other users will “stumble upon” what you’ve added. That’s when the “magic begins”. When visitors give your pages good feedback, your content is shown to even more users.
You can’t sell your product or service on StumbleUpon. The benefit it offers is increa

How to get free traffic – Tracking Traffic – Vid 10.wmv
http://smallbusinessblogging.com Serious about free traffic?! Watch all 10 vids “How to” series getting free traffic : SEO, RSS, Articles Writing and Submission, Video Marketing, Web 2.0, Yahoo Answers, StumpleUpon, Social bookmarks and Traffic tracking. IMPORTANT READ TEXT BELOW AS WELL
Video 10 is about using Free Traffic Tracking.
These videos aim to show any newbie and even the more experienced all the possible ways of generating free traffic that has been proven to work. Not all marketers use all the methods and many only focus on 2 or 3 strategies.
These videos are not promotion but are aimed at providing insight into free traffic methods you can explore.
Forget about the bullshit the ninjas and guru promote about instant and millions of free traffic in an instant, it does not exist
You have to choose, or decide on a traffic generation method, implement it and get good at it. If one strategy does not work for you, try another. Some methods are more successful in some niche markets than others.
There are also the Social Networking strategies that involve FaceBook and Twitter and MySpace.
Video10 is about Free Traffic Tracking. Targeted traffic is what we are all after. Targeted traffic is traffic that in all likely hood is ‘buying” traffic. When we have implemented some of the preceding free traffic strategies, and start enjoying fee traffic, we need to know where this traffic originates from.
Even if you are using only one strategy, you still need to know how visitors are moving around on your site and where they are clicking.
This is where Google analytics provides a powerful free tool that is able to track and report on the every move a site visitor makes on our site. Armed with this information we are able to tweak and change strategies depending on what the analysis reveals.
Again with WordPress, installing this code is as easy as typing your name9well not that simple but not complicated either).
There is still the off page factor like linking. This is where I have a massive gift for you.
Come to my site and see how I took a blot onto page #1 in 6 weeks (9 million). Less than 100 quality links is all it took. I will give you all the links you need.
